Therapeutic Counsellor

About Sam Ford

I am a qualified counsellor who offers individual therapy sessions to adults, adolescents and children and I also have a specialism in school workshops and training.

I believe strongly in mental health and emotional wellbeing for everyone; by offering person centred counselling, and by integrating aspects of other therapy I believe the needs of the individual can be met.

My approach is to provide a safe, confidential, warm, non judgemental, empathic and honest environment which will help the client to feel listened to and valued thus enabling a positive change.

I have nearly 20 years experience of working in a school and have been a qualified counsellor for 8 years. I have experience of working with children and adults from the age of three upwards.

My qualifications include:
Bachelor of Arts – Honours Degree in Counselling.
Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Teaching Assistant Levels 1 and 2.

'During a challenging period, it was the first place i felt able to talk and be listened too - allowing me to feel better and valued'

'After many years of seeking help, I finally found a counsellor through Cudox who was and is fantastic as hat she does and would recommend to anyone'

'I can see progress in how i can reflect on things and approach things with a clearer and logical mind'

'I don't think I would have got through this without my counsellor. Her kindness, gentle tone and understanding have helped me so much. She is a wonderful person'

'The counsellors are really understanding and connect with the people who are involved. Also the progress from day 1 has been good and helped me progress with my mental health. It is highly recommended'

'I am really pleased i started with Cudox, it really is the best counselling i've had ever'

'I am so thankful to be able to talk to my counsellor, she has seen me through so much and I have gained more confidence in myself. People should use this service if offered, it works and I am so grateful how far I have come today'

'I feel without this help and ongoing support I would have ended up trying to take my own life'

My counsellor is the first person in my 36 years mental health battle that has listened to me without judgement. I couldn't have wished for a better therapist'

'Words cannot describe how much counselling has changed my life. I needed support but wasn't sure in what capacity. From my first session I felt seen and heard in a whole new way and it opened up so many things to explore.

'My counsellor really cares and provides the vital safe space in which to open and share the delicate and fragile contents of an extremely complex broken heart and mind'
